You have probably
heard of Star Wars, and know that the creator of
Star Wars is George Lucas. But, do you know him up close
and personal? Well, you can by reading this book. This book
is packed with information and interesting facts on George
Lucas. Did you know that Star Wars was first turned
down by most every major film company, until 20th Century
Fox reluctantly accepted it? Or, that Lucas flunked high school
and had to go to Modesto Junior College. George’s dad
owned L.M. Morris Stationers and wanted his son to work there.
But, Lucas told him no, and promised he would be a millionaire
by age 30. Lucas actually became a multi-millionaire by age
29 mostly because of his hit movies, American Graffiti
and Star Wars. He owns three companies: Lucasfilm
Ltd., Skywalker Sound, and Lucasarts Entertainment, all of
which are among the best at what they do.
